Craig Adams is an amazing individual and unique member of the BFE Chronic Pain Team led by Washington state native and expert in the field of biofeedback, Dr. Richard Sherman. Craig is the first patient to be recruited as an education assistant to the team. He is not only coping with his own chronic pain, but is taking up the challenge to learn more about biofeedback through one of several biofeedback courses offered by the Behavioral Medicine Research and Training Foundation where Dr. Sherman is the director.

The online course titled “General Biofeedback Psychophysiological Assessment and Intervention” is presented by Dr. Sherman. This introductory level, home study, biofeedback training course is the equivalent content of a three credit college course and provides 50 hours of CE credit approved by the APA and NBCC. The course is targeted to licensed / certified clinicians such as psychologists, counselors, physical therapists, social workers, nurses, and physicians as well as to graduate students. The course objective is to provide the depth of knowledge in psychophysiology, biofeedback equipment, and training techniques.

This and other courses offered by the Behavioral Medicine Research and Training Foundation available in the BFE Online Shop, provide biofeedback professionals worldwide the opportunity to become BCIA certified, without the need to travel. The BCIA (Biofeedback Certification International Alliance) certifies individuals who meet education and training standards in biofeedback and progressively re-certifies those who advance their knowledge through continuing education. BCIA is recognized as the certification body for the clinical practice of biofeedback by the AAPB, the BFE, and the ISNR.
